Tast of the Wild - Page 2

Peggy,

That is a great food, have a male that has digestive issues and he is doing great on TOTW High Prarie and I have a new pup and I mix TOTW with Chick Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul for the right nutrients and all the dogs are doing so much better.  Pit Bull actually has a soft coat, not prickly.

I noticed that HAILEY feeds your pups this?  Do you supplement with anything?  How old are pups and how are they doing?  I thought I read that you needed more calcium then this food provides? 

The website says ALL Life Stages, but I feel better feeding CSfPLS to him mixed with TOTW.

I get TOTW 30# for $38.50 and CSFPLS for $33.99 for 35# at local per supply store plus tax.  Reasonable prices.

Any suggestions?

"Thank you all. Molly it was the protein leavel i was worried about for a young do, (1+) as the protein is 32% compaired to Fromm at 23% (I believe)."

I have my, not quite 2 year old on the TOW Salmon until she turns 2.  It is only 25% Protein.  She has had a couple of bouts with Pano, so that's why I am being careful with the protein.  I will switch her over to the Bison/Venison soon.  My 6 year old is on the Bison and is doing great.  Great price too.  They have been on it since Aug or so.

4pack - you're lucky to have found Orijen at a better price than TOTW.  It's just the opposite here.  I pay about $50 for a 30 lb bag of TOTW.  Orijen is pushing almost $70 (with tax). 

I just recently switched to TOTW from EVO so I can't comment.  The verdict is still out.  I was looking for a lower protein food as well as a different protein source other than chicken.  I feed the TOTW Pacific Stream Canine Formula.

Orijen was $47 a bag, bumped up to $50 a bag when gas was high. Crazy I can get it cheaper than EVO, TOTW and a handfull of other "high" quality foods. The pet store I get it from doesn't mark it up to make a profit because they believe, EVERYONE should be able to afford to feed their dog quality food. I just hope they keep feeling that way.

TOTW is cheaper than Orijen - don't know why your store was marking the TOTW up so much - it's wholesale is $35 or so (what I pay as I buy dogfood in bulk), can get it in the stores anywhere for $40  or even a little less.  For 30#.  The protein levels are reasonable for no-grain food - I won't feed my dogs 42-45% protein, which is what the cats need, not dogs.  Orijen, EVO and all other no-grain foods are too pricey, and too high protein IMO.

i have found this web site for TOTW check it out. http://alpha-nutrition.stores.yahoo.net/ntaofwihiprc1.html   the price is the same for either Stream or Bison and I can get it sent to my home UPS.

2 differnt stores for me. Neither store sells poth products. I search every store in town each time I switch foods because nobody carries it all. When I fed DVP's Natural Balance, I can only find it at PetCo.

I have been feeding Chicken Soup for several years and my dogs have done well on it until early last fall.  Then thier coats started to be brittle and dull.  I am sure the CS formula has changed and it's not even worth asking the company.  I switched to TOTW salmon formula and their coats improved dramatically.  But through our club we have now a very good price on Pinnacle and I'm gradually switching to that.

I have delt with Tony from Alpha Nutrition for a year and a half now he is the best.  The best price and great service and he has all the quality brands plus this guy really knows K-9 nutrition.  A great place to do business from.
